The liberal/atheist/scientific argument is that homosexuality is biological, not that it is genetic. But since Jesus and I conflate the words genetic and biological, there is no difference. You say potato I say poe-tah-toe.

I promise you that the scientific discovery that homosexuality is biological is in no wise conducive to eternal life. This non-doctrinal speculation about science being a fulfillment of God's will may be amusing now, but will it be amusing to have your flesh burned off again and again for ever and ever? I am only looking out for your well being when I say such things, friend; I mean no offense.

My question about the notable absence of scientific facts in the Bible was rhetorical. Obviously the reason there were no scientific contributions in the Bible, and only rough mathematical estimations, is because God knows better than to believe liberal elites.

Amen Billy Bob.

Question, while watching a debate a little while ago, I started to see another contradiction and wondered whether this be a fallacy. I mean the Atheist in the debate began using terminology from Computer Science, they began demonstrating their theory with a program. But I could not help but see that God made the universe, by softly spoken words.

The contradiction it seems comes by way of the mathematics used to create a program. To create this demo, a rendering of the universe by using a language, but yet God spoke creation into existence...

Dunno, this just came to mind while listening.

And Billy Bob, that is interesting in what you say, that only the Divine Laws are broken. Why is that?

Ive noticed Satan is nearly every corner of the Interweb that isnt directly connected to the one True Christian™ church, Landover Baptist. Pornography and atheism go hand in hand. The FACT that God created sexual differences doesnt mean He wants us to simply sex each other willy nilly like negros in Africa. The same logic applies to the Interweb, just because God made it doesnt mean we should use it to spread lies and athianism by way of His grace! Trying to disprove the Bible in ANY sense, whether its using homosexual Greek debate terms or using science or linking to atheism sites, only serves to prop up Satan and his minions. It does nothing to diminish the truth of Gods love. There can only be one truth and if you use atheist logic and say the original truth must be right, then God wins because He created the universe! There was nothing before Creation! Every atheist agrees with that FACT even when they stupidly claim the "big bang" happened. What was before the "big bang"? NOTHING.
God wins.
Praise Jesus yall.

God bless America, the Second Amendment and the Constitution. God bless the United States Marine Corps and all who fight for Jesus in third world cess pools. God bless the GOP and all they stand for, Truth, Honesty and the American people. God bless Landover Baptist Church and all True Christians™ the world over. Curses to our Muslim President, his failure is our Salvation.

Just as unzipping your tight bottomless chaps is a CHOICE, so is the CHOICE to use you God-given parts to swordfight with your friends in a park bathroom stall. There is nothing "genetic" about sexing in the rump or using your mouth on a womans stuff. Genetics, according to satan, are biological and everyone knows(including the deluded scientists) that the function of life is to reproduce. God made everything living so that it could reproduce. Thats called a LAW OF NATURE.
Logic dictates that reproduction doesnt happen if sperms are drowned in a colon. Therefore, homosexuals are UN-NATURAL by their very definition. Because they are unnatural it is easy to conclude that their sex is of the Devil and should be punishable by law.

ARGUMENT DESTROYED.

God bless America, the Second Amendment and the Constitution. God bless the United States Marine Corps and all who fight for Jesus in third world cess pools. God bless the GOP and all they stand for, Truth, Honesty and the American people. God bless Landover Baptist Church and all True Christians™ the world over. Curses to our Muslim President, his failure is our Salvation.

I don't know if it's fallacious, but it's definitely ironic. God created and sustains everything by the power of His Word (Gen 1, Jn 1:1-18, Heb 1:1-3). God was the original Talker. Man can only talk because he is created in God's image (Gen 1:26-27). The atheist's ability to talk comes directly from God. Without God he wouldn't be able to talk (or create computer languages). The atheist disproves atheism every time he opens his mouth.

And homosexuality is not genetic. Just because, for example, some drosophila fruit flies in a lab somewhere once chose to be gay while they were being observed by scientists doesn't prove that there is a homosexual gene in humans.

Mt 21:42, 44Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes . . . ? And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

If you really want The Irrits try the fallacist's fallacy. Heathens are more prone to this than atheists. Before linking to some of their debased utterances I'll just make up an example

EXAMPLE 1
• pebbles do not eat camels
• "cool"jazz, worms and the moon are all types of fish
• therefore the sky is blue

Although no evidence is offered to support the conclusion, and despite several logical errors, the conclusion is not necessarily false (or true).

In the next example a number of fallacious and unconnected statements are strung together by several God denying heathens leading to a conclusion that does not follow from any of their "arguments" but which seems to be supported in Scripture. Revelation 22:17 However when we realise that the chief heathen among their number is primarily interested in goddess cults such as those of Aphrodite and Frigg the corrupted nature of their fallacious conclusion is revealed.

EXAMPLE 2
How many fallacies can you count there?
Words spun from no more substance than clouds.

So many misconceptions about Atheism. You clearly don't know that much about what being atheist is about. Being Atheist is not some kind of rocket science, it's a pretty simple concept, it isn't as complex as tou seem to think

Let's try to have a serious and grown up debate here, feel free to make me some questions about atheism. Let me help you to understand Atheism and in the process maybe I can also understand you better.

It's not my intention to turn anyone to Atheism, the same way I will not be converted to your religion. I just want we to understand ourselves better.

This is not a debate forum. The purpose of this site is to praise and glorify the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a place for Christians to fellowship and worship. The goal of the Landover Baptist Church forum is to draw people to Jesus Christ because Scripture confirms that salvation comes only through Him.

Luke 6:22 tells us that because we preach the True doctrine of Jesus, men shall hate us and call us evil. So naturally, we expect that folks will get their feathers ruffled by some of the things they have to say, and they will come on here to argue with us. Perhaps we have said something that upset you. Maybe it was something I said. If so, then I am sorry that you are upset, but I do not apologize for what I have said. My words and thoughts come from the Holy Scriptures. I didn't write the Bible -- God did. So if my words upset you, then you don't have a problem with me -- you have a problem with God.

We tend to get two types of dissenters here. Some are calm and reasonable folks who are capable of rational discussion. I personally enjoy discussing religious topics with this sort of person. Others, however, are angry trolls who are just here to flame us. If you are here to flame us, please read this first.

Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

...Seems like a discussion is synonimous of debate. So... what's the problem after all?

Again, your reading comprehension. "Debate" is ONE possible meaning of "discussion"; that does not mean they are synonymous.

If you have questions, ask them, POLITELY (after using the "search" function to ensure that the question has not been answered already), and they will be answered. Attempt debate, and you will be banned (after being informed that you are wrong, anyway). That will not be my doing, so don't bother bitching to me.

Friend, I believe we have covered some of this ground. The reason that prescriptive laws like "Thou shalt have no gods before me" can be broken while natural laws like Intelligent Pulling cannot, is because God loves us and therefore wants us to be free to burn in Hell for all eternity without any possibility of escape; the reason God allows evil is because He is so good. This is Christianity 101, friend.

How about explain why you reject all the evidence for God's existence. There are many sources of evidence: the Bible; creation (Rom 1:18-32), creation science and Flood geology; world events, answered prayers and miracles; and your own conscience (Rom 1:18-32). Rational discussion is encouraged on this forum. So I challenge you to explain why you reject all the evidence for God, without resorting to fallacious (irrational) reasoning, especially "begging the question," which I mentioned in the OP. Maybe then you'll see how foolish your position is.

Mt 21:42, 44Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes . . . ?

It's just a matter ofsemantics. In practice both discussion and debate are the same, 2 or more people speaking about a subject.

These are all faith related evidences. I need factual evidence. And the reality is that there isn't a single factual evidence of the existence of your god.

The bible is not the proof of god's existence, it's the claim of it's existence. In the same way the qu'ran it's the claim that Mohammed is the true prophet of allah and has pretty much the same faith related evidences that the bible has. Why do you accept one and reject the other?

I must say, after reading those lyrics I needed to read my Bible for an hour straight just to clear my head.

Proof by assertion. Simply stating something to be true without offering evidence or a supporting argument for the statement. This fallacy takes the form "P is true." For example, "God doesn't exist." Or, "Evolution is now a fact." Atheists seem to think that if they just keep saying the same thing over and over, that makes it true. God wants us to immunise our children against this kind of brainwashing. That's why it's important to homeschool them so that they can learn the truth: God does exist, and evolution is a lie from the devil; God created everything.

Appeal to ridicule. Presenting your opponent's position in a way that makes it seem ridiculous. "If the Genesis Creation account is true, then God created light before He created the sun, moon and stars!" (Which of course is true, but imagine this being said in a condescending, mocking tone). They love to mock the Creation account. They can't see the folly of their own position. If there is no God, then the universe just appeared out of nothing.

But the Bible is proof of God's existence. The very first verse states the existence of God as a fact.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And how do I know God's Word is true? Simple. The Bible tells me so.

Jn 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Why is God's Word true? Because it is inspired by God.

2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

I reject the koran because the Bible warns against adding to God's Word.

Rev 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

The koran was written at least five centuries after Revelation. Accepting it would be adding to God's Word.

So you say, but is there any factual evidence against His existence?

Wow, so this is what public education has come to...

Perhaps you should read a dictionary before you attempt the KJV Bible.

Kicking a yappy dog does not mean I'm insecure about the dog. It means it's pestered me to the point I don't want to listen to it any more.

For some reason most of you atheist type come here looking to be banned. Somehow you think that annoying us to the point that our pastors kick you out the door somehow proves your intelligence. It doesn't. It just means you're an annoying yappy little dog who got kicked out the door for being a pest.
